Protests every Thursday 4-5 PMTesla Dealership in Tigard, Oregon https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/763336/
MobilizeRally at Tesla Tigard: Dump Trump, Deport Musk, Defend Democcracy · MobilizeWe will continue our Thursday rallies at Tigard Tesla each Thursday from 4pm -5pm. The media is picking up on these rallies and our messages!
Trump and Musk continue to slash through the Federal government agencies, fire workers, and pull funding from programs that help all in this country. They just slashed 50% of the workforce of the Dept of Education. They have cut back on security measures used for elections, including measures that helped stop foreign interference in our elections.
And on Monday Musk said entitlements, which encompasses a good part of Federal spending, "is the one to eliminate".
So we are rallying to protest the fact that an unelected billionaire with Trump's blessing is slashing government and cutting programs that help all people so that the wealthy can have tax breaks. And Republicans in Congress are complicit by their silence.
There is parking a couple of blocks south of the Tesla store in shopping center. We will be out here each Thursday at 4pm.

My, the fog over the west hills behind downtown #pdx is gorgeous this morning. What a beautiful day.
on one hand: I want to bike across the river to pick up rye bread this morning
on the other: the shamrock run is happening this morning along naito 
like damn, build better bike lanes so I don't have to dread marathons happening #pdx
If any #DeadHeads in #pdx collect 8-tracks, there's a sealed Tiger Rose at Future Shock on E Burnside, among a few other treasures.
Report back from Rose City Counter Info:
In the Fall of 2024, several dozen trees in the Harborton Reliability Project area were spiked. Metallic and ceramic spikes were used, and between one to three spikes were placed in each selected tree.
We waited before sending this message in order to give time for legal advocacy groups to do their work, and also to let any traces of our presence decay into the loam.
Now, the project continues despite the efforts of the community, and the area threatened to be destroyed has grown.
It is now our time to get to work to defend forest park.
We will not let them take the earth from us.
Sincerely,
P.G.E. (Portlanders Getting Even)

About a dozen cops showed up to the community free store again tonight. Before anyone had even arrived to set up, Jessie Burke, CEO and partner at The Society Hotel, was standing on the corner where folks usually set up with her husband speaking to a handful of police. Burke has a history of being hostile to the houseless community and those providing them resources. (In addition to everything in this article, she has countless posts on her instagram that are vile) https://www.portlandmercury.com/news/2024/05/16/47206194/county-commissioner-candidate-saw-more-than-40k-funneled-to-her-husband-by-a-board-she-oversees
People ended up setting up just around the corner from where the free store typically is on Thursdays. Eventually, the police followed and surveilled from across the street for a while and eventually left. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were thrown off by how many people there were.
I think tonight displayed a successful community defense. While the police were still busy in the initial location with some people who stayed back to argue with them and the police tried to figure out if people had given up, others were around the corner setting up. When I first approached the distro setup in the new area, I was surprised by how many people there were. Not just the usual distro folks and people seeking resources, but others there to support and help keep the distro going even in the face of realtime repression. It wasn’t an ideal location to setup by any means, but people thought quick and didn’t let that ridiculous police response stop the distro from going on.

Ok I just drove past several peacocks walking around loose on a residential street in Lake Oswego (a wealthy suburb of Portland). #PDX I honestly have no idea if they are normally out and about like that, or if they escaped. I decided “not my problem!”
